On Windows, right clicking on the desktop produces a context menu with Display Settings. The dialog has an Orientation pulldown menu with the 4 choices. Without actually rotating my screen, I clicked Portrait and managed to start IDLE and click the full-screen box. It worked. I could not find a similar option on my Macbook. Since the screen is attached to the keyboard, it would be pretty useless. IDLE has some control over whether the full screen button appears on the window title bar, but has nothing to do with what happens when you click it. So this is almost certainly a python-on-macOS installation issue or more likely a tck/tk-on-macOS issue. (One could eliminate IDLE for sure with a minimal tkinter program creating an empty window: "import tkinter; tkinter.Tk()". If that worked, as a Text widget. Kevin, is not maximizing in portrait mode a known issue with tk on macOS?
